Kearney, Neb. - The Nebraska-Kearney/Southwest Baptist baseball series scheduled for this weekend in Bolivar, Mo., has been moved 50 minutes down the road to Ozark, Mo., due to rain in the area.

U.S. Baseball Park just outside Springfield. A double header will begin Saturday at 5:30 with a single nine-inning game set for Sunday at two. The U.S. Baseball Park, built in 1999 and with a capacity of 4,000, is home to the Division II Drury University Panthers. It features an all-AstroTurf surface.Â
